DISCUSSION AS X1 26,which was signed by the Governor of California on June,29,2011,added Parts 1.8 and 1.85 to the Community Redevelopment Law.Part 1.8 immediately suspends most redevelopment agency activities and,among other things,prohibits redevelopment agencies from incurring indebtedness or entering into or modifying contracts.Part 1.85 provides that on October 1,2011,all existing redevelopment agencies and redevelopment agency components of community development agencies are dissolved,and successor agencies are designated as successor entities to the former redevelopment agencies.Part 1.85 imposes numerous requirements on the successor agencies and subjects successor agency actions to the review of oversight boards established under Part 1.85. AS X1 27 was signed by the Governor concurrently with AS X1 26 and added Part 1.9 to the Community Redevelopment Law.Part 1.9 establishes an Alternative Voluntary Redevelopment Program whereby a redevelopment agency will,notwithstanding Parts 1.8 and 1.85,be authorized to continue to exist and carry out the provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law.To opt into the Alternative Voluntary Redevelopment Program,a city must adopt an ordinance by which the city agrees to make specified annual payments to the county auditor-controller for allocation to special districts and educational entities.On August 16,2011,the City Council adopted Ordinance No.524 opting into the Alternative Voluntary Redevelopment Program. R6874-0001 \1389897v1.doc RDA E-1 Approval of a Preliminary Draft of an Initial Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule September 6,2011 Page 2 of 2 Section 34169 of Part 1.8 requires an agency to approve a preliminary draft of an initial recognized obligation payment schedule by September 30th •However,Part 1.9 provides that if a city council timely opts into the Alternative Voluntary Redevelopment Program,then the agency will be exempt from the provisions of Parts 1.8 and 1.85.Thus,an agency should only be required to approve a draft recognized obligation payment schedule if the city council has not adopted an opt in ordinance by September 30th •However,the stay issued by the California Supreme Court,discussed below,means all agencies must approve a preliminary draft of a recognized obligation payment schedule by September 30th even if the council has adopted an opt in ordinance. The California Redevelopment Association and League of California Cities have filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of California alleging that AS X1 26 and AS X1 27 are unconstitutional. On August 11,2011,the Supreme Court of California decided to hear the case and set a briefing schedule designed to allow the Supreme Court to decide the case before January 15, 2012.On August 11,2011,the Supreme Court also issued a stay order,which was subsequently modified on August 17,2011.Pursuant to the modified stay order,the Supreme Court granted a stay of all of AS X1 27 (Le.,Part 1.9),except for Health and Safety Code Section 34194(b)(2)(relatihg to the determination of cities'fiscal year 2011-12 remittance amounts)and a partial stay of AS X1 26.With respect to AS X1 26,Part 1.85 was stayed in its entirety,but Part 1.8 (including Health and Safety Code Section 34169)was not stayed.Thus, the requirements of Part 1.8,including the requirement to prepare a preliminary draft of an initial recognized obligation payment schedule,are applicable because the provisions of Part 1.9,which exempts agencies from the provisions of Part 1.8 upon adoption of an opt in ordinance,have been stayed. Accordingly,Staff recommends that the Agency approve a preliminary draft of a recognized obligation payment schedule. FISCAL IMPACT None. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There will be no new environmental impact associated with any of the decisions outlined above.
